John Havlicek was the Best Celtic Player

John Havlicek was the best Celtics player. Better than Larry Bird, Bill Russell or Kevin Garnett. Best work ethic on the best teamwork team in NBA history with the Michael era Bulls being the sole close rival.

Are There Thin-Film LCD Calendars with Art Yet?

Thin film calendars with changing art (such as Picasso and Renoir) would be useful to have; especially if they automatically updated the month and highlighted the day. They should require fewer than five dollars to purchase.

A bonus would be if they had wireless too in order to run important headlines from a source of one's choice.

Black Racism Dialectic Against Trump Isn't Helpful

After eight years of a black President it would have been too much to expect that black leaders would accept business as usual with the election of a white President. For whatever reason black leaders have been vociferous in their attacks on President Donald Trump since January 2017. Black Lives Matter riots and the NFL knee taking during the national anthem were two of the lightening rods for restive black existential expressions of hatred of white America and white traditions. Race relations might have been improved a little better by a transition to a new President without the acrimony and hatred of black leaders for the new President.

President Trump isn't perfect yet he is the President and doing the best he can for the people of the United States. The nation does not benefit by fielding a permanent intifadah against the U.S, chief executive. Democracy benefits from a tripartite balance of powers that is not improved with negating one of the branches. A permanent bureaucratic morass is the default government style that really isn't to excellent for anything or anyone.

There will be another President some day and the history of racial attack for several years is not a good one to have for the next era. Allowing democracy to work is important, even more so than unelected expressions of power.

Consequences of the Trade War

The trade war has consequences of course. Con meaning with and sequences meaning order and continua of some form. Utilitarianism has a field called consequentialism in which one judges the morality of an action through examination of its consequences. I suppose that includes intention to, or actions with good or bad intentions could have good or bad consequences that are accidental rather than through design, and so the action could be judged moral therefrom without anything besides a corresponding formulaic meaning to determine its moral value.

If the trade war is substantive it may generate good or bad consequences from which evaluation and grading of its utility may be made. President Trump and other leaders have numerous variables to adjust. They may explore those and implement actions suggested from the present and even speculated criteria economically.

Europeans have been critics of the President for some time largely. The trade war paradoxically could be used to address one of the root issues Europeans lambast the President of the United States about- the environment and global warming. One cannot be sure that Europeans have any real intention to modify toward the positive the problem of human caused ecospheric jeopardy. They could try some measures that are adequate to meet the challenge themselves yet they seem to want a partnership or collective global approach to global warming. That approach isn’t adequate and mostly serves to enlist support for ancillary causes such as socialism, homosexual marriage etc.

Europeans could be leaders and just quit using cars. It is possible to use other forms of transportation for the masses and individuals such as hyper-tubes and electric shuttles locally. Fundamentally it is bureaucratic inertia seeking to cultivate a we are the real insiders mentality globally as if that method would not itself lead toward flirtation with democide. President Trump could put a 500% tariff on foreign auto imports in order to encourage Europeans from dumping tools of ecocide upon the world.

A region that abandons antipathetic tools and replaces them with eco-recovery technology would be a global leader. So much needs to be done to upgrade to a new global infrastructure that is not simply an expanded and refined historical economic way of exploiting the ecosphere and converting it into product without reason.

At the top there is little to no leadership to reform capitalism. Instead various forms of competiton and collectivism organizationally prevail, and that forward drive affects most planetary political systems in place today regardless of their political philosophy. A trade war is a kind of blip or disrupt to that standard way of business expansion leading to ecocide. It is not a very substantial blip.
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has very little content on the philosophy of corporatism. Here is a quote from what it does have that illuminates part of the problem…

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/friedrich-hayek/notes.html
quote from note #7 "
Adaptation to the niche of political entrepreneurship consists of becoming a better predator in a game where the predators make the rules. Politicians learn to cooperate, to be sure, but mainly with fellow predators. An evolving political order is increasingly dominated by corporatism (more pejoratively known as crony capitalism, where politically favored CEOs acquire the power to regulate their competitors), which is entrepreneurship of a destructive kind. Boettke 1995 articulates the theory of public choice implicit in Hayek."

It Wasn't Mueller That Found Senator Feinstein's Chinese Spy

Former head of the Senate Intelligence Committee Democrat Diane Feinstein's driver was a Chinese spy. The spy driver was also her office gofer and liaison to the Chinese community. There is no word as of yet if he will forfeit his twenty years public service retirement benefits. Probably he also has some sort of foreign Chinese government accounts too. Maybe Special Investigator Mueller could discover if there was any link to Democrat Party intelligence access and secrets exfiltrated to China, as well as tax fraud.

Feinstein fired the spy after the F.B.I. mentioned the problem to her- that was five years ago.

AJ's Inforwars Taken Down by Corporatism (FB, Apple, Youtube, etc)


Alex Jones' Internet platform is under real and solid attack. He has had his political shows taken down from Youtube, Facebook and Apple podcast. Fundamentally those corporations are under the sway of homosexuals that hate anti-homosexual  political positions. Jones is a prime supporter of Donald Trump so the Democrat corporations have good reason to pull the plug on political opposition. It is Mussolini's political philosophy of corporatism in action. When President Obama's Supreme Court allowed hate speech and hate crimes legislation  to become law the corporations were armed with an example to emulate useful in killing free political speech and opposition points of view. Corporate wants shit eating mutts for sycophancy in the media.

Alex Jones reports on an important side of current events and social structure the establishment usually ignores. The 1% concentrating wealth is not an illusion. The Democrat Party is deaf, dumb, blind and stupid these days in working as hard as they can to destroy the heritage of national independence and self-reliance so far as possible. They are shop stewards working for the rich as leaders of a company-owned union. The broadcast media is owned by that 1% establishment- it isn't imaginary.


A good Canadian philosopher named John Sauls published a book on corporatism in contemporary society in 1999 named The Unconscious Civilization. I don't believe he has written another book on that topic since. I recall him writing someplace that he had a family to take care of. Corporatism can shut anything down just like Muslim theocracy, imperialism and communism can.

SPLC appears to have left a semblance of neutrality and objectivity these days being so far removed from the 1960s and later when there were actually numerous groups perping violence that required tracking. SPLC could include CNN and the Washington Post these days and possible the Governor of New York on the list of extremists if they wanted to be objective. Throwing in powerful political bullshit in with the genuine articles degrades the credibility and reputation of SPLC. They aren't Elie Wiesel Inc.


I wonder about the Southern Poverty Law Center being an extremist organization using words and target listings of individuals in the attempt to socially marginalize them. Alex Jones, Bo Gritz and Gary Demar all made the list with Alex Jones being listed first on the list of 129 extremist individuals. American individuals should be free from organizational social terrorism.

Sure the Southern Poverty Law Center includes numerous people that probably deserve being listed, yet I suppose they also omit numerous people and  organizations including ANTIFA, because they are leftist or communist.

To Combat Global Warming Put 500% Tariff on Foreign Car Imports

Europeans have rightly pointed out that global warming is really serious. President Trump should put a 500% tariff on foreign car imports to help slow the destruction of the healthy atmosphere. Europeans could help by stopping driving cars of any kind. European bison could use the abandoned autobahns as green corridors for 'kissing' with distant herds.

The Better Health Care Safety Net Still Is to Expand VA and Homeless Clinic Networks

It is those without medical care and that cannot afford it that need medical care in the U.S.A. The best way to create a safety newt for those individuals is to expand the V,A, hospital system and unite it with the nation's homeless clinics to cover tens of millions of poor and veteran Americans directly. Elon Musk's hypertubes could be installed to links remote areas to hospitals. It is simply the most efficient system that the government and politicians generally cannot face up to.
